Still on the Grind 38 years strong - Tony Mignone



Looks like Park Slope’s only record store will keep on spinning the hits - at least for another three years. The legendary Fifth Avenue Record and Tape Center has found a new home just three doors down from its current spot at 439 Fifth Ave. Owner Tony Mignone will be evicted from that location at the end of the month, the Daily News has learned. “I’ll give it another shot,” said Mignone, 72, who’s been running the little neighborhood shop, simply known locally as “the record store,” for 38 years.

When you walk in, you really feel like it takes you back in the day when there was no internet. He keeps it old school, I actually stoppe by Tony's spot a year ago when my friend Dijitaal was living out there. I was able to speak to him and scoop a lot of classic tapes from him mostly Jazz from John Coltrane to Thelonius Monk and even found Reachin by Digable Planets and Public Enemy's Fear of the Black Planet.
